Sue, hon, take the long view on this one. (Note, I'm making some assumptions here and don't really know beans about this....) When the D comes around, would you rather have H's child support payment calculated based upon the money he was making previously, or on the money he is currently making?
I didn't think if it that way. I have to do more research on what MN is like. mcojh could tell me too. He's from MN

Thanks! Let's add in the haircut for next week. Not really what most would consider a "treat", but I'm looking at a new, fun summer style.

My BIL has taken more than one personal tour of a police station. My SIL has called the police a couple of times. My MIL also had to call them once. My BIL came home drunk when he was living with them. My MIL spouted off to him (that's where he gets his temper & nasty mouth) and my BIL started chasing her. She got a phone & called 911. The odd thing is that although I've seen his temper & heard his nasty words, he has never once directed it toward me. I've known him for nearly 16 years now. In fact, of all the bad things he's said and done, he's actually defended me when my H acts out against me or pulls crap with me. He's done as bad or worse things than my H and yet he looks at my H as being just horrible to me. He tells me not to let him back in my life even if he comes begging & pleading. I just pray that he doesn't do any of the "D7 isn't my child" talk in front of D7. He's said some other really bad things in front of her and has had her in tears before. This would just pull her apart.
